Sask. Premier Scott Moe's approval drops sharply according to new poll
CBC
Premier Scott Moe has lost a significant amount of support from the people of Saskatchewan, according to a new online survey from the Angus Reid Institute.
The poll, which was conducted from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3, showed Moe has an approval rating of 43 per cent. A previous poll conducted in June gave Moe an approval rating of 61 per cent.
The results mean Moe's approval has dropped by 18 percentage points, the most significant drop in support among all Canadian premiers.
"The province's recent virus struggles appear to be reflected in the premier's approval," read a report from the institute.
"For the first time in his tenure, Moe does not enjoy a majority level of approval."
The results place Moe as Canada's 5th most-popular premier.
The report went on to mention Saskatchewan's record number of people with COVID-19 in hospitals and intensive care units.
